Default Mongoose or Blueflame?

I need to replace the exhaust on my esc cos and am thinking of going for either a Mongoose or Blueflame.
Which do you think is the best to go for?

What one sounds better? I currently have a Mongoose on mine but I want it to be louder. Are Blue Flame pipes louder?

Blue Flame for me. Nicer fit and all joints are flanged.

I currently have a magnex, but tempted to change...

Thought Blue Flame made Mongoose under license? Where's Mike R he will know and confirm.

Apart from that im running a mongoose, soon to be replaced as i seem to leave most of it on my local speed bumps

collins made mongoose under licence from blueflame iirc,

the collins ones were slip joint type connections whereas the blueflames had flanged connections like the jap stuff which makes them much easier to line up and they dont wander and catch on teh front prop as easy as the slip jopint ones,

i had mongoose on both my 4x4 saph and escos though , was very happy with both, in terms of fit, looks and sound.
